Sister Cities

Sister city and twin town relationships give Council and our community new economic and education opportunities. It also expands our international communication, cultural awareness and co-operation.

Council has strong ties with Yamagata and Villers-Bretonneux, including cultural, education, economic and historic links.

Swan Hill - Yamagata

The relationship between Swan Hill and Yamagata officially started in 1980. It was one of the earliest Sister City arrangements with Japan.

Robinvale - Villers-Bretonneux

Villers-Bretonneux was adopted as the twin city of Robinvale in 1984-1985. However the first visits to France were made in late 1970s.
